<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Abu Dhabi plans to develop 5,000 MW of new gas-fired power plants to enhance its energy capacity and support the UAE’s AI strategy.</li>



<li>Taqa leads the project, considering Dhafra and Al-Nouf sites, with specialist firms assessing logistics.</li>



<li>The new plants will provide flexibility, complement renewable energy efforts, and ensure a reliable power supply for future tech needs.</li>
</ul>



<p>Abu Dhabi will boost its energy infrastructure by developing 5,000 megawatts (MW) of new <a href="https://theelectricityhub.com/?s=gas-fired+power+plants.">gas-fired power plants.</a> The Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (<a href="https://energynews.pro/en/abu-dhabi-launches-5-gw-of-gas-fired-power-plant-projects-to-support-ai/">Taqa</a>) will lead this initiative to support the UAE’s national artificial intelligence (AI) strategy.</p>



<p>The plan involves adding approximately 5,000 MW of new gas-fired power generation capacity. This expansion will strengthen the UAE’s energy base, crucial for advancing AI technologies. Taqa is currently negotiating with potential partners and equipment suppliers for these projects.</p>



<p>The sites under consideration are Dhafra and Al-Nouf, with Dhafra likely to be prioritised for development. Specialist consultancy firms will assess the details and logistics of the projects.</p>



<p>The new gas-fired facilities will modernise the UAE’s energy sector. They will meet AI&#8217;s growing demands and ensure a reliable and flexible power supply. The UAE’s National Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2031 emphasises the need for a strong energy foundation to attract talent, integrate AI into critical sectors, and establish effective regulations.</p>



<p>The new power plants will provide the flexibility and capacity necessary for this transformation. They will complement ongoing efforts to integrate <a href="https://theelectricityhub.com/?s=renewable+energy">renewable energy</a> sources. The gas-fired plants will offer reliable electricity generation and adapt to changing demands.</p>



<p>These projects stand apart from other initiatives managed by Emirates Water &amp; Electricity Company (Ewec). Ewec is working on the Taweelah C combined-cycle power plant, scheduled for 2028, and the Madinat Zayed open-cycle plant, planned for 2027. Both projects aim to enhance the stability of the UAE’s power grid while supporting renewable energy integration.</p>



<p>The Taweelah C plant will provide transitional capacity to support the growth of renewable energies. The Madinat Zayed project will offer backup capacity to handle rapid demand fluctuations. These projects reflect a pragmatic approach to energy diversification.</p>



<p>Ewec awarded its last major combined-cycle project, the Fujairah F3, to Marubeni Corporation in 2020. The new gas-fired projects continue the UAE’s strategy to increase energy resilience and meet the demands of a high-tech economy.</p>



<p>The UAE’s broader energy capacity-building framework aims to attract necessary investments and support continued growth. The new gas-fired power plants play a crucial role in this strategy, reinforcing the nation’s <a href="https://theelectricityhub.com/?s=energy+infrastructure">energy infrastructure</a> while supporting technological advancement.</p>



<p>In summary, Abu Dhabi’s development of 5,000 MW of new gas-fired power plants represents a significant step in enhancing the UAE’s energy capacity. This expansion will support the country’s AI strategy and address <a href="https://theelectricityhub.com/?s=future+energy">future energy</a> needs. The projects will provide the flexibility and reliability required for a high-tech economy and complement ongoing efforts in renewable energy.</p>
